Tasting Notes
Normally plentiful with a production of between 7-8 barrels, 2016 saw only one single barrel, which has been made exclusive to FINE+RARE. Bright, very floral, perfumed nose – lots of lift and freshness. Ripe, succulent red cherry, raspberry, fleshy plum. Structurally, this very fine but with core of closely knit, mouth-filling sweet tannin. With patience, this will come together beautifully. Fresh, very elegant finish – strawberries and cream. A fantastic effort, one to pick on release if you’re able to find it.

About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
